DOES ANYONE REMEMBER ROSS PEROT? HE PRACTICALLY DESTROYED AMERICA.

IF RON PAUL AND BARR DON'T PULL OUT, THEY WILL DESTROY OUR COUNTRY. THERE IS NO WAY EITHER OF THEM CAN WIN. THEY MAY AS WELL HAND AMERICA OVER TO OBAMA.

Our country is already destroyed ... the only thing that can fix it IS Ron Paul

A delegate count by MSNBC gives Obama 1,880 delegates to Clinton's 1,718 with six more delegates to be awarded in West Virginia. That leaves him 145 short of the 2,025 needed to clinch the nomination.

Neither candidate can win without help from superdelegates -- nearly 800 party officials who are free to back any candidate. Obama has been gaining ground among superdelegates for weeks and picked up four more on Tuesday.

Barack Obama now leads in states, pledged delegates, contests won and superdelegates. Obama has won the support of 27 superdelegates in the course of just the last week.

After much discussion, we like Barack Obama

Sen. Barack Obama is the best candidate in the race for the Democratic nomination for president. He represents America's best chance for a real and positive change in direction for a country beset by an unpopular war and economic doldrums.

The United States is as polarized as it has ever been in its 232-year history. From the Oval Office all the way to Main Street, the division has paralyzed the country. Obama has demonstrated a unique ability to unite Americans of all ages, race and gender and has the best chance to end the culture war at home. He also could unify a country that that needs to pull together, not apart, if it expects to keep its position as world leader and restore its moral authority.

Restoring America's moral authority means finding a way to end the war in Iraq, which a majority of Americans now believe was a mistake. Obama, who opposed the war from the start, was right when he said at a Muncie appearance that if the Iraqis had not found a way to take control of their own country during the past five years, it was not likely to happen in the foreseeable future. The U.S. must find a way out of the Iraqi morass, and at the same time open a dialogue with other countries, particularly those in the Middle East, on stabilizing the region.

The fact that venerable former Indiana congressman and foreign policy expert Lee Hamilton, who was vice chairman of the Sept. 11 commission, has endorsed Obama should not be dismissed lightly.

"Barack Obama has the best opportunity to create a new sense of national unity and to transcend divisions within this country, not by ignoring them or smoothing them over, but by working together with candor and civility to meet our challenges," Hamilton said in a statement.

Obama has breathed new life into the Democratic party, helping to rebuild it into a 50-state party through his appeal to important and previously disaffected young voters. Youth are the future of our country, but both parties have either ignored or been unable to reach them for generations. The fact that many are paying attention now, thanks to Obama, bodes well for the future.

The Star Press Editorial Board does not ordinarily endorse candidates in primary races for a variety of reasons. The importance of the 2008 Democratic race and the fact that for the first time in 40 years Hoosier votes might actually make a difference in the outcome are why we are making an exception to this policy.

It was not an easy decision, nor was it unanimous. The opinions and political passions of our board members (whose names appear above) reflect those of Indiana as a whole. The Obama endorsement was the result of several volatile and, above all, fascinating discussions held over a period of about a month. At the beginning, there were more members undecided than espousing either candidate. In the final decision, as in the voting booth, undecided was not an option. Members selected who they would vote for if the election were held that day.

Both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are extremely smart, and it is obvious that both are more than capable of running this country. The differences in their positions on major issues are slim. But, we've had a preview of what a Hillary Clinton administration would probably look like, and while it might be an improvement over the present one, it would still reek of old, partisan politics.

Obama represents our best hope for a different kind of presidency with a different attitude that could lead to a better America. Change is a word that has become the key -- and the most overused -- word in this campaign. The truth is, however, a real change in the leadership style at the top could lead to change all the way down to Main Street. We need someone who will inspire us to be better as a people and as a country -- to change. Barack Obama is that person.

OBAMA/SEBELIUS TICKET! YOU BETCHA

Top ten Obama Vice Presidential picks
http://timesonline.typepad.com/comment/2008/05/whos-going-to-f.html
So it's Obama. But who's going to fill the second slot on the
Democratic ticket?

1) Hillary Clinton

Many believe Obama will have to offer the VP slot to Clinton. Andrew
Sullivan called it the hate-filled dream ticket. But will she accept
it? If Obama loses, she may see a 2012 race opening up before her.

Al_for_vp 2) Al Gore

He's certainly got the experience. But the eco-warrior probably has
no desire to return to Pennsylvania Avenue. Winning his endorsement
would have set Obama up for the nomination. Does he need Gore any
more?

3) John Edwards

A serious contender. The North Carolina Senator ran with John Kerry
in 2004 and would bring the Southern link currently missing in
Obama's campaign. But would he want to do it again? And would Obama
feel Edwards should have been with him earlier?

Kathleen_sebelius4) Kathleen Sebelius

Sebelius's name has been cropping up more and more frequently. The
two-term Governor of Kansas fills in many of the gaps in Obama's
support base. She may not have much foreign policy experience but
she'll bring a red state with her. And a female Vice-President might
help soothe Clinton's supporters. One to watch.

5) Bill Richardson

Also extremely likely. Pundits state that he's been running for VP
since the beginning. He brings foreign policy experience and the
Hispanic vote with him.

Wesley_clark_2 6) Wesley Clark

A former four-star general, Wes Clark served in Kosovo and studied
PPE at Oxford. He would lend Obama military clout and cross
party-lines in his appeal.

7) Jim Webb

The junior Virginia senator since 2006. He could provide the machismo
that Obama needs. A military man with a son in Iraq, he's regarded as
one of the most authorative Democratic voices on the conflict. Known
to carry a loaded pistol on occasion. As a former Reagan man he
would add to Obama's cross party appeal and make it slightly harder
to paint the candidate as an unrepentant liberal.

8) Robert Casey

The Pennsylvania senator has already endorsed Obama. As VP, he would
help out in the white working-class states. And his Catholic faith
would reach out to an important voting bloc.

Oprah_and_obama9) Oprah Winfrey

She's already one of America's most powerful women. Could DC be next
on her world-domination agenda? Just a thought.

10) Joe Biden

Might he be the first Biden in a thousand generations to run for
President? A senator since 1972, his presidential runs have never
taken off. But his international experience might make him a good
choice and he'd appeal to the white male vote. His description of
Obama as 'clean' didn't do him any favours though. And some think he
is more likely to be Secretary of State.

John Edwards or Bill richerdson either one will be fine with me.

Strados8:14AMMay 14th 2008

I'm facinated by all the non-Ron Paul posts in the Ron-Paul article. It's a shame he doesn't get the media attention he deserves. I'd vote for his kind of Republican (i.e. SANE). He's the only politician with the balls to say the Federal Reserve, and income tax, is a bunch of unnecessary crap and is destroying our economy.

Ron Paul, if only 90% of Americans were politically educated.

Ron Paul isn't "Pulling a Perot". He's a Republican and this is the primary. I'm not saying this is characteristic of you (I don't even know you) but this is typical of how the neocons think. "My way or the highway", judgementalism, shallow thinking, narrow scope, "follow the leader", lockstep BS from the top down from a party machinery which includes lots of former Democrats, and bellicose hippocrates who could never hold their own when some issues are brought to the table. This is why RP is number one on the internet (where the "bought and paid for" crowd can't compete in the free market of ideas)

"Miss Ron Paul" "contest" what an insult !
Is there no decency left in our country ? We will
leave this wonderful country we have called home for over 50 years if any of the three "buzzed" candidates get elected. The media is so corrupt, we are not even kept informed on Ron Pauls campaign. Where is the buzz on Ron Paul ? And.... when he does get ahead in the straw poll, it mysteriously mal- functions. Come on some of you democrat and McCain supporters, at least have the decency to express outrage at the unfairness of it all.
P.S. I'D LIKE TO SEE SOME CENSORSHIP OF THE FOUL FOUR LETTER WORDS USED IN THIS COMMENT SECTION. Is common
courtesy and decency dead in this great country of ours ?

attl5:43PMMay 14th 2008

I don't know when was race not an issue anywhere around the globe. Like it or not, it is real and it hurts. Sometimes, the minority will only be included if they can make a difference in the final outcome by supporting the candidate represent their interests the most. In the case of Obama vs. Clinton, the issues are not their political views but gender and race. However, you slice the pie Obama will come out on the short end of the stick in a national election. The kid gloves will not be worn during the fall contest. And they will be played on the ground level. Republicans can't win on issues, but they sure can on a weak Democratic Candidate. Primary being what they are don't necessarily reflect reality of a general election. Particularly, when so much effort has been exerted on keeping the race and gender issues hushed.

Republicans has never garnered much black support in the past and it certainly isn't their ticket to victory. As a matter of fact, it was the opposite. Guess what! they really fear is what is going to happen in the other groups. Anything that can dissuade people from voting democratic and race will be a huge silent issue in their favor. It will be an expensive lesson to not just the democrats but the nation. The continuation of current policies will bury us all.
